Specification :

THATSHIGH' s LBO ( Lithium triborate or LiB3O5) is grown with an improved flux method. LBO is an orthorhombic cyrstal and belongs to the point group mm2. It is built up of a continuous network of B3O7 groups with lithium cations locating in the interstices. The compact network of B3O7 groups makes the LBO crystal almost free of inclusion. Now, THATSHIGH provides high quality LBO crystals for many applications.

LBO Features:
1.Broad transparency range from 160nm to 2600nm ( SHG range from 550nm to 2600nm) .
2.Type I and type II non-critical phase-matching ( NCPM) over a wide wavelength range.
3.Relatively large effective SHG coefficient ( about three times larger than that of KDP) .
4.High damage threshold ( 18.9 GW/ cm2 for a 1.3ns laser at 1054nm) .
5.Wide acceptance angle and small walk-off.
6.High optical quality ( homogeneity DnH 10-6/ cm) and free of inclusion.

LBO Applications:
1.High power Nd: YAG and Nd: YLF lasers for R& D and military applications.
2.Ti: Sapphire, Alexandrite and Cr: LiSAF lasers.
3.Medical and industrial Nd: YAG lasers.
4.Diode laser pumped Nd: YVO4, Nd: YAG and Nd: YLF lasers.
5.Frequency-tripling ( THG) of Nd: YAG and Nd: YLF lasers.
6.Optical parametric amplifiers ( OPA) and oscillators ( OPO) pumped by Excimer lasers and harmonics of Nd: YAG lasers.
7.Frequency doubling ( SHG) and tripling ( THG) of high power Nd: YAP laser at 1340nm.
